Holiday Gift Giving Guide: Giving NYC Urban Gardens

If you enjoy NYC urban gardens, you know how tempting it is to share the joy with others. Discovering the secrets of rooftop gardens, learning what plants thrive in your own corner of NYC, enjoying the life and energy that comes from working with plants: it’s so much fun it’s hard to keep it to yourself.

And really, why should you? A joy shared is a joy expanded. If you enjoy urban gardening, and think that you have a family member, friend or loved one who would like it too, use this holiday season to give the gift of NYC urban gardens.

It’s really easy to do. Find a great holiday plant arrangement, one that features live, potted plants that are both attractive and hardy. Choosing hardy, tough plants is important when you’re giving a gift to a novice urban gardener: you want to choose items that can stand up to the learning curve. Hardy plants are those plants that can survive too much water, or not enough water, or too much light, or not enough light… you get the idea. Choosing attractive plants is essential because you want your new urban gardener to enjoy and be excited about caring for their new plants. Plants that look and smell good make the NYC urban gardens experience fun.

For example, check out the Cypress Garden. This great green gift is a fabulous way to introduce someone to the joy of NYC urban gardens. Nestled in a bed of pinecones and shiny holiday ornaments, the Cypress Garden features two live plants: a cypress and heather. Both plants are durable and easy to keep alive. The cypress smells great, with evergreen foliage that adds visual interest and texture to any environment. The heather features sweet smelling purple flowers and attractive foliage. A great arrangement to begin or add to an urban garden!
